Component
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
What Happened
The front seat belt buckle in your vehicle is the part that connects to the steel rope of the tensioner, which helps keep you safe in a crash. Unfortunately, in some 2003 models, this connection doesn't meet BMW's safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connection fails in a severe frontal crash, the protection provided by your seat belt might not work properly, which could lead to serious injuries to you or your front passenger.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect and replace the front safety belt tensioner and buckle assemblies if necessary, at no cost to you. You should schedule the service as soon as you get the recall notice, and if you experience any delays, contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
